Republican accuses Ron DeSantis and the GOP of election fraud in lawsuit

In a lawsuit against Gov. Ron DeSantis, State Attorney Andrew Bain and others, Thomas Feiter is accusing Republicans of propping up a ghost candidate in the Republican Primary for the State Attorney’s race in Orange and Osceola counties.

“This sham was a well thought out and deliberate attempt to manipulate the electoral process; engineering a candidacy that was never intended to be serious,” Feiter said, representing himself in his Orange Circuit Court lawsuit. Feiter also argues that the Republican Primary results should be invalided because of “misconduct, fraud and corruption.”

Feiter lost badly in the Republican Primary to Seth Hyman. Hyman dropped out shortly after his victory, claiming to have run out of resources for the General Election.

That means no Republican is on the ballot in November. Instead, Bain — a DeSantis appointee running as an independent in a blue district — will go head-to-head against Democrat Monique Worrell.

“Andrew Bain is a Republican and is openly and unmistakably aligned with this faction and the Republican Party,” Feiter said in the lawsuit.
